Hampton expressed his praise and
honor of former foe.
Senator Allison devoted himself
to a review of Senator Logan's In
fuence in National lesislation.
Senator Hawley discussed personal
traits, and Senator Spoener was elo-
quently eulogistic. Senators Col
quit, Frye, Plumb, Evarts, Sabin
and Palmer also laid flowers of
rhetoric on their late comrades
tomb. Mr.. Palmer's eulogy was
the closing one.
He said, among other things,
that if Logan had been a French
man during the throes of the reyo-
luton, he would have been the
Danton of that day, his motto that
of his great prototype, to dare,
and by that sign he would have
saved his country. If born in Switz-
erland be would have been Win
kelried. If there was to be dis
tiuct type of the Caucasian race, it
would have, as \ substructure, the
virtues which have n ade the name
of Logan famous--intrepidity of
spirit, honesty of purpose, gen
erosity for the vanquished, and
catholicity of view for all.
President Cleveland is quoted as
saying that nothing has given him
SO much concern since he came
into Office as the care necessary to

further said that the worry and
trouble. being incurred from the |
threng Of applicants was making
life burden to him. fit be true
that no member either of the SEN

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Feb. II, 1887

w ASHINGTON, rep. IL, 1851.
Although the days left to the
present Congress are steadily di-
minishing, the week has been rath-
er a quiet one in both Legislative
halls. Both have resounded with
obituary oratory, however; new
bills have been introduced Of Ma
tional and local interest, and the
Senate has voted millions of money
for defense.
The tariff agitatioa has ended for
this session. After all the formal
correspondence between Speaker
Carlisle and Mr.. Randall no agree
ment could be reached. The Speak
er refused to recognize any one to
call up bill to repeal the tax on
tobacco, and as there was no other
way to get the matter before the
House, that ended it with this Con-
gIess. Many still think the Presi-
dent will call an extra session of
the Fiftieth Congress soon after the
adjournment of this, In hope of
compelling it to do something To-
wards carrying out his wishes In
regard to reduction of the reve-
nue..
The memorial services held in
honor Of the late Senator Logan
were impressive and forcibly sug-
gestive of the occasion of the Sen
ator's funeral, which took place in
the Senate Chamber a few weeks
ago. Before the Senate convened
every seat had been taken except
the places reserved for the Diplo-
matte Corps and the President and
two benches in the reserved gallery
which had been placed at the dis
posal of the Logan family.
Precisely at noon Mrs. Logan,
closely yelled, entered, leaning on
the arm of her son, and the crowd
was hushed to perfect silence. APP
prorriately for the occasion, Gen.
eral Logaa's old seat remained va
cant, and most of the Senators were
attired in black.
Senator Cullom paid the 6rst
tribute to the dead. He reviewed
his life and services, his career as
a public man, his principal speech
es and quoted some Of his more
memorable expressions defining his
position on public questions.
Senator Morgan, Of Alabama, fol-
lowed with a bright eulogy in
which he said he di6 not think of
Logan as force that has passed
away, but as living, moving en-
ergy, still useful in the great pur-
poses of the divine economy.
Senator Edmunds spoke of his
twenty years acquaintance with
General Logan, which had given
him the greatest admiration for his
character. Senator Mandersen fol-
lowed with beautiful tribute to
his military qualities, and Senator

prostratlon. 1t goes under
many names but it is essen
tally the same complaint.
Hospitals and private institu-
tons for nervous patients are
crowded. The average of life
In the United States is de-
creasing every year. Sudden
deaths from nervous collapse
among our business, profess
ional and public men are so
frequent as scarcely to excite
remark. The majority of sui
cides, committed without ap-
parent reason, or under so-called
depression of spirits" are
really prompted by nervous
prostration, which is fruitful
source of insanity and crime
with all their grief and horror.
These facts are startling.
They threaten the very life Of
the nation. They assa1 the
springs of its power and pros
perity. They wreck manhood's
strength and wonIan's useful
ness and beauty.
Every one should know the
causes. What are they? The
answer is easy and terribly
plain: Our vicious personal
habits; our careless and lawless
eating and drinking; the In
tense mental and physical strain
arising from our mad race after
money, position and influence;
the fears and struggles of pow
crty; the use of narcotics and
stimulants; our fashion of
turning day into night and
night into day; and, briefly,
our desperate willingness to
pay any price for an hours
pleasure or success. So we
burn life's candle at both ends
and fill the lunatic asylums
and the gTaveyards.
The disease from which we
suffer and die is, in plain Eng
lish, Nervous Dyspepsia, as it
is seated III the Nerves and in
the organs of Digestion, Assim-
ilation and Nutrition. Healthy
digestion being impeded or des-
tr0ved, the whole body, nerves
included, is literally starved;
even when there is no enact
alton to tell the sad story.
Nervous prostration sends
out its NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
in the morning; a persistent
dull heaviness or aching at the
base of the brain; wakefulness;
loss of appetite and disgustwith
food; loss of mental energy and
interest in ordinary duties and
business; restlessness and anx-
iety without any assignable
re son; quotations; bad
breath; foul mucous on the
teeth; occasional giddiness
palpitation of the heart; sal
lowness of the skin; coated
tongue and gradual failure of
strength and ambition.
The remedy is a total aban-
donment of the habits and Gus
toms which cause the disease
in each individual case, and the
use of Shaker Ect1'act of Roots
(Seigel's Syrup to cure the
mischief already done. This
great remedy, prepared by the
Shaker Community of Mt. Leb-
anon, N. Y, is especially adapt
ed to eradicate Nervous Dys-
pepsia. To do this it acts
directly and gently but power
fully upon the disordered stom-
ach, liver and kidneys, restor-
ing their tone and vigor, pro-
noting the secretion of bile, ex-
pelling waste matters from the
system, and purifying the blood.

The Colored Christmas Club.

DINNER TO Blk GIVEN TO FIVE HUNDRED POOR
CHILDREN AZ THE METROPOLITAN A. N. n. CHURCH.
A Christmas club has been organized in the
seventh division, colored public schools, which
proposes this year as beginning TO entertain at
dinner 500 poor children who have no Christmas
at home. The club was organized three weeks
ago, and its membership embraces nearly all the
children Of the seventh division. The plan was to
have each member pay an Initiation fee OF two
cents and then pay one cent each week. so far
each member has paid four cents. The teachers
and friends outside have also contributed, so
funds enough have been collected TO justify
inviting 500 children to the dinner. This dinner
VIII be given In the basement OF the Metropolitan
A. Nj. Z. church, which has been rendered for the
purpose free oIeharge. IL wlltake place at o'clock
the Sth inst the day selected by the other Christ
mas Clubs for their entertainment. corps OF wait
ers has been selected from the pupils in the differ
ent school buildings. AT the dinner. turkeys,
meats, vegetables nuts, candies and other Christ
mas delicacies Will be served. There VIII be no
Christmas tree, as IL was thought best TO devote
the funds collected entirely TO the dinner. The
officers OF the club are Miss Alverta Taylor. preSi
dent; Miss ii. +. VI. Bruce, vice-presdent; Miss Z.
+. Shimm, secretary, and Mrs. NJ. V. Catcher,
treasurer. A circular announcing the purposes OF
the club and appealing for aid says: "The Christ
tached, propose to contribute their mite and TO
assure the unfortunate OF their own race that
operation OF the benevolent they will aim to make
this sympathy practical and efYectual. Hitherto
other Christmas Clubs have passed on the other
side these whom II is the special object OF this
club to succor."
one OF the officers Of the club said to STAR re-
porter that the tickets Of invitation had been
issued to needy little ones alter personal visits
made TO their homes by the teachers. There were
many poor children In the schools, too. Some OF
these, however, would not accept tickets being In
fiuenced either by pride or desire TO make way
for some who were still more needy. The club this
year Is considered an experiment. Next year 1t Is
hoped 10 extend It's operations.
